>>guest: not john boehner, and mcconnell is not either. you heard yesterday when treasury secretary geithner put the plan on the table, mcconnell literally laughed out loud because they saw sticker shot on republican side. they believe the president campaigned on $800 billion tax increases back over the last few months and now suddenly it is doubled to $1.6 trillion because it is not just about going back to the old clinton tax rates and letting the bush rates expire it is also about adding new taxes on capital gains, dividends, et cetera. the push back is the president campaigned on this and he believes he won that argument, and he believes that once republicans give in on the tax argument, at least extend the bush rates for the middle class, as the president says, 98 percent, basically, he will talk about spending cuts and i think that is the other frustration republicans have, they think if they give in on taxes, now, with a promise of spending cuts later, those cuts will never materialize. >>neil: do folks at white house think there wi
